I'm trying to "try" Ubuntu on my Windows 7 laptop and I installed 12.10 to a USB stick. I changed my boot preferences to boot to USB first. It boots from USB and I get a screen that says "SYSLINUX 4.86 EDD 2012-18-13 Copyright (C) 994-2012 N. Peter Anvin et al" and it just sits there and doesn't go past that screen.

1.) What application did you use to burn the image to the usb-stick? There are several programms out there (xboot, linux live usb creator, unetbootin, etc.), take a look at this site for more: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
